You talking about the rear plate frame? I presume so, 'cause the front is straightforward. For the rear, there's a sealant around each of the four screw holes that holds the plate in place. There's a plastic ring around the lock, so the frame has to go straight out. Also, it gets stuck around the plate lights, so you have to tweak it a bit if you leave the lights in.

Takes a bit of coordination, but it gets easier each time.

Now, isn't that just a little bit personal?

Seriously, I've removed the plate frame at least three times. Once to replace the trunk lock, a second to add my stripes behind the panel, and a third to re-do the foam padding around the lock. It was letting water in the trunk, and rattling a bit. Sucks to wash the car, then have to dry out part of the trunk.
